FLAG DAY- JUNE 14TH

Patriotism has characterized the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America since the early
days of the organization. Allegiance to the flag of our country is a requirement of every member. In 1907, the Grand Lodge
of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks designated, by resolution, June 14 as Flag Day. The Grand Lodge of the
Order adopted mandatory observance of the occasion by every Lodge in 1911, and that requirement continues.

The Elks prompted President Woodrow Wilson to recognize the Order's observance of Flag Day for its patriotic expression.
But it was not until 
1949 when President Harry Truman, himself a member of the Elks, made the proclamation that thereafter
June 14 would be a day of national observance for the symbol of our country. It was through his Elks Lodge in Independence,
Missouri, that President Truman got the idea for a national observance of Flag Day. 


Please join us, the Morgantown Elks Lodge #411 along with the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 306, in our observance of Flag Day.
The event occurs every June 14, and is open to the public!
